[quote=Anonymous]I wish I could stay out of my children's academics, but school is now so much about collaboration and creativity and testing, that it seems the teachers don't have time for anything else. They're tasked with helping kids come up with new ideas all the time and meeting each child at their level, so they can never have the same curriculum for all of their children. They also have to keep re-teaching material with spiral curriculums, so subject content switches all the time before the students achieve any mastery. I like the emphasis on collaboration and creativity, but it seems like the change is leaving my child with a lot of holes in their education and a lot of unfinished work. Half the time the teacher doesn't even check the homework nor the classwork, so there's no way for them of knowing whether or not the child understands the assignments. We've gotten assignments returned back that aren't even started much less completed with no teacher comments and no requirement to finish them. I just can't stand by and watch when I'm seeing this stuff happen regularly. I don't blame the teachers. They have too much to teach with too little resources and too many kids.[/quote]
